lyrics

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
Oh, how America loves you
From the Golden Gate
To the Central Park Zoo
I'd wait a whole year just to play
At Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

I sat on your shoulders that November day
Must have been 3 or 4
Two heads in the millions lining the way
Mittens to keep my hands warm
Pachyderm pairs, Arabian Nights
Mickey Mouse in the air
Smell the East River, break only to fight
The war will be gone next year

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
Oh, how America loves you
From the Golden Gate
To the Central Park Zoo
I'd wait a whole year just to play
At Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

A short decade later, less turkey more gin
Beginnings of a bruise
NBC fills the gaps where real life had been
Resentment in full bloom
Television dinners, New York City rain
The clowns they all look sad
Rubber toy soldier using a cane
Marionettes have been banned

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
Oh, how America loves you
From the Golden Gate
To the Central Park Zoo
It doesn't take long for a change
In Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

We buried you quickly in grey Thursday rain
The 9th week into Fall
Silence and the sorry that never came
Leaves me to recall
The clopping of horses on Broadway at dawn
My warm breath in your hair
Brass trumpets crowing holiday songs
As Santa lands at Herald Square

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
I'll miss you
